Higher Ground lyrics

People keep on learnin'

Soldiers keep on warrin'

World keep on turnin'

'Coz it won't be too long, no, no, ah, yeah

Powers keep on lyin'

While your people keep on dyin', alright

World keep on turnin'

'Coz it won't be too long, oh no, noo

I'm so darn glad he let me try it again

'Coz my last time on earth I lived a whole world of sin

I'm so glad that I know more than I knew then

Gonna keep on tryin'

'Til I reach the highest ground, oh, woah, yeah, ho!

Teachers keep on teachin'

Preachers keep on preachin'

World keep on turnin'

'Coz it won't be too long

Oh no, alright

Lovers keep on lovin'

Believers keep on believin', yeah

Sleepers just stop sleepin'

'Coz it won't be too long, ho!

Oh no, yeah

I'm so glad that he let me try it again

'Coz my last time on earth I lived a whole world of sin

I'm so glad that I know more than I knew then

Gonna keep on tryin'

'Til I reach my highest ground...yeah, oh!

'Til I reach my highest ground oh, yeah, no, no

No one's gonna bring me down

No, no, no, noo!

'Til I reach my highest ground, ho! mhm, mhm

Don't you let nobody bring you down (they'll sho 'nuff try, ha)

God is gonna show you higher ground
